Match Commentary

93'

FULL TIME An absolute pasting that was. Chelsea dominant from minute one and should have scored double figures. Torres with a very smart hat-trick, and so many plus points for the Blues. A nightmare for QPR, whose goal difference has taken a battering, as well as their confidence.

92'

Malouda's volley is so bad he's just hit the big screen.

91'

Lovely move from Chelsea as Torres spreads the ball wide for Lampard, he returns the favour but Onuoha blocks the shot brilliantly.

90'

Three minutes added....

89'

Nice move from Chelsea as Lampard finds Torres, he lays off to Malouda but his shot from the edge of the box is a bit rubbish.

88'

Lampard still in search of a goal but he'll have to settle for a corner, and more stick from QPR's fans.

87'

An awful corner from Barton then an even worse cross second time around as the ball comes back to him.

86'

Taiwo wins a corner after his long shot is deflected behind.

85'

That maintains Cisse's record of either scoring or being sent off in every game he's played for QPR.

84'

Onuoha does well to battle down the right and pull the ball back for Cisse who lashes home from eight yards out.

84'

GOAL Cisse grabs a consolation.

82'

Great story. He's a die-hard Chelsea fan too. Great moment for him.

81'

Sam Hutchinson comes on for Bosingwa. He had retired thinking a knee injury had ended his career, then it cleared up and Chelsea resigned him.

80'

Good burst from Ramires, his cross is diverted out to Malouda, who finishes from seven yards out.

80'

GOAL Malouda makes it half a dozen.

78'

Wright-Phillips is on for Zamora. He gets applause from the home fans.

78'

Now Ramires forces Kenny into a save with a powerful shot.

77'

More sloppy finishing from Chelsea as Lampard gets into the box but Hill blocks him off.

76'

Torres finds Ferreira on the right and his cross really should have been better.

But despite the injury crisis, and that previous stat, this is still a Chelsea team with seasoned internationals in it and that forward line of Torres, Sturridge and Mata ain't half bad is it?

-

Further hope for QPR comes with the stat that Chelsea are yet to win a London derby this season.

-

So, with Zamora and Cisse up top it looks as if QPR are going to try and exploit any weaknesses in Chelsea's rearguard given their defensive injury crisis. Good on him I say.

-

QPR make two changes, Djibril Cisse playing for the first time since his latest ban while Akos Buzsaky also returns.

-

Jose Bosingwa starts at centre-back as Chelsea make six changes. The Blues rested several of their Champions League heroes, as well as recalling
Fernando Torres, Daniel Sturridge, Salomon Kalou, Paulo Ferreira and Michael Essien.

Anton Ferdinand will be on the same pitch as John Terry for the second time since he was allegedly racially abused by the Chelsea captain last October. They faced each other in an FA Cup tie in late January.
